Steven was driving home from a friends house in the early hours of Sunday morning. He was alone in his car, and there were no other... Continue Reading →
pumpkin spice and all things nice
It's that time of year again! Yes, Halloween is nearly upon us. I'm split on the subject. Historically it's not really a time we celebrate in the UK, I mean, yes the kids dress up sometimes, and do a bit of trick or treating, but we don't have the big family holiday type celebrations we...

Well, it seems I have returned! At least I think I have! After umpteen false starts, technical problems and my old pc finally giving up the ghost!

car trouble
I had a little car trouble this morning. I haven't actually driven my car for some weeks now, but I have been going out to start her up every few days, just to keep her ticking over. Well this morning she didn't want to play. I got in the drivers seat, put the key in... Continue Reading →

Love is like a butterfly As soft and gentle as a sigh The multicoloured moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing I feel it when you're with me It happens...

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies And I'm not proud of my address In a torn up town, no postcode envy But every song's like Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room We don't care;...
